A California general power of attorney form serves the same function as a general durable power of attorney form, meaning it enables an agent to handle the finances of a principal. The difference between a durable and a general power of attorney is that in the context of the latter, the powers granted to the agent become void if the person being represented becomes incapacitated mentally or physically. It is advisable to seek the advice of an attorney who is versed in probate law before granting power of attorney to another individual.
